Paddles UP!!!

Magdalene Woo, Past President of Canadian Chamber of Commerce in S.China, is looking for paddlers to participate in the exclusive invitational “2023 China 2 City International Dragon Boat Festival” in Guangzhou and Qingdao!  After a three-year hiatus, Woo, is calling Paddlers to form two fierce Canadian teams – one men’s and one women’s – to represent Canada at this amazing event.

And get this: while in China, all of the accommodation, meals, and local transport during the two-week festival will be completely sponsored! We’re talking about an event that’s like a mini Olympics, with  teams from all around the globe, including the US, UK, Australia, Thailand, and more.

This is not just a race, but an unforgettable experience of true international and cultural exchange. The teams be travelling, paddling and banqueting together, all while making lifelong connections and memories.

If you are interested in participating or join the online meeting tonight, contact Magdalene for information.
